    So they trained a model on open weights, and then aren't releasing the weights... am I reading this right?

      It happens with open source software all the time, why would we expect any different with open source weights.

        Because we do. The GPL isn't a suggestion. If you can take open source code and make private software out of it then what are we all doing? No, license requirements and agreement are law for a reason.

          Kimi K3 has its own license which is permissive, it isn&#x27;t at all like GPL <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MoonshotAI&#x2F;Kimi-K3&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;LICENSE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MoonshotAI&#x2F;Kimi-K3&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;LICENSE

          GPL is a specific license, it’s not FLOSS as a whole

        Because the licenses that apply to software make no sense in the context of LLMs. With the latter, there is no source code to license.

        The words of a license are what the license is.
